ANTONY TISCH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HINGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 574,463, dated January5, 1897.

Application filed December 2, 1895. Serial No 570,755. (No model.)

[0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONY TISCH, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of New York, (Kingsbridge,) in the county of New York and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHinges, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similarletters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to means for hanging window-shutters and similararticles, and the object thereof is to provide improved devices for thispurpose which are designed to hold the shutter in position and toconnect the separate parts of the hinge by which it is supported, sothat they cannot be accidentally separated; and with this and otherobjects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination,and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a portion of a shutter and a frame thereof, showing also myimprovement in side elevation; Fig. 2, a section onthe line 2 2 Fig. 3,a side elevation of a portion of my improved hinge with the lockin gdevice or attachment secured thereto, and Fig. at a similar view of theother part of the hinge or that part which is connected with theshutter.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents one side of the frame of awindow to which the shutter is attached, and B the frame of the shutter,and in the practice of my invention I provide a plate 0, which isadapted to be secured to the frame in the usual manner, and this plate 0is provided with a shoulder or projection D, to which is secured or onwhich is formed a pintle E.

In the top or upper end of the pintle E, I form a transverse slot F, andsecured to the plate 0 is an arm G, with the upper end of which ispivotally connected at bar or plate 11, the free end of which is adaptedto rest in the transverse slot F, and formed in the pintle transverselyof the slot F and also in the free end of the bar or plate H areperforations or holes adapted to receive a key-pin K. I also provide aplate L, which is adapted to be secured to the shutter and which isprovided at one side with a projection M, on which is formed or to whichis secured a tube N, through which the pintle E is adapted to beinserted, as shown in Fig. 1, and the operation will be readilyunderstood from the foregoing description when taken in connection withthe accompanying drawings. In mounting a shutter the tube N, secured tothe plate L, is inserted over the pintle E, and the bar or plate II isthen dropped down into the slot F and secured in place by means of akey-pin K, and, as will be observed, the shutter cannot be raised or theparts of the hinge disconnected without first removing the key-pin K.This key-pin may be of any desired form and may be provided withascrew-nut, if desired, or when the shutter is placed in position it maybe riveted, if preferred.

It will be understood, of course, that the usual or any desired numberof hinges may be employed With each shutter, and my invention is notlimited to the exact form, construction, and arrangement of parts shownand described, and I therefore reserve the right to make all suchalterations therein and modifications thereof as fairly come within thescope of the invention.

It will be also observed that my improved hinge may be used inconnection with doors or similar articles, although I'have shown anddescribed the same only in connection with a shutter, and it willtherefore be understood that the application of myimprovement is notlimited to window-shutters as herein shown and described.

Having fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patexit- In a hinge, a plate having a shoulder provided with apintle, said pintle having a transverse slot in the upper end, an armsecured to said plate above said pintle, a bar pivotally connected withsaid arm and adapted to snugly fit in said slot in aforesaid pintle,said bar and pintle being proi'ided also with perenee of the subscribingwitnesses, this lth day iorations transverse to said slot, and a pin ofOctober, 1805.

adapt-ed to enter said perforations and engage v, v 1 1 l A 4 b V saidbar and pintle, all of said parts being A\1'O\X U 5 combinedsubstantially as described. Witnesses:

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as JAMES REAGAN,

my invention I have signed my name, in PIOS- 1 CHARLES TISCH.
